Not sure why everyone is hating on this place. Granted we don't eat this kind of food very often but my wife and I really enjoyed our meals and I know we'll go back Pulled pork had a great smokey flavor, ribs and brisket were equally good. Side orders of baked beans and mac n cheese went well with the food. Even the cornbread muffins were tasty. I don't agree with it being overpriced either. The whole takeout bill was $42. Not sure w hat some people's expectations are. Too many people watching to much Food Network that like to judge. Here's a thought, buy a smoker and experiment with it if you think you're some type of championship BBQ contestant. LOL
My wife and I are from Kansas City so we are used to the best BBQ in the world. In KC, the meat smokes with the sauce on it and then you add more at the end. Sweet Heat doesn't add sauce during the smoking but the different sauces help make up for that. We've tried several BBQ joints in the northern VA, southern MD, Washington DC area and Sweet Heat has the others topped. The Brisket is tender, the pulled pork is flavorful, and the ribs are well worth the stop.
Good food, but expensive.
Had the pulled pork and brisket sandwich. Very moist and tender. The bun was excellent. You put the sauce on, which in my book is a good thing.
Sandwich plus drink, no sides came out to 12 bucks and change.
I had the brisket sandwich. It was ridonkulous!!! So good!!! Yeah it it sort of like a slow cooked super tender pot roast and not a sliced brisket, but all I can say is wow! The poppy seed bun soaked up the juices and really complimented the meat. Can't wait to go back! Awesome sandwich!!!!
Staff was friendly and food was excellent! Can't understand the other reviews based upon my experience. This is bbq folks - not a fancy sushi lounge. Pork bbq was tasty and they have a large selection of southern sides. Looking forward to another visit.
Everything was great. Half chicken plate was very moist. My husband got pulled pork sandwich and it was very good. Even the coleslaw was good!
Food is amazing. We left feeling the three P's pleased, plump, and pampered. Amazing service from Shawn, Taylor, and Darrec. Will definitely be returning as soon as possible.
I think the brisket sandwich is really good. I love the onion roll. The mac and cheese is good not great. Wish it had more cheese.

The place lives to its name. It's sweet. It's hot. And everything is delicious. Add the kale salad and you can indulge to your heart's content without guilt.
